can anyone give me some hints.
Title says 1972 Barth, has a 454 chevy., its 25ft.

Are you talking about the one set as your avitar picture? If so, it looks like a 25 ft Regal based on the width of the front wheels in proportion to the body. I would guess it is a P-30 Chevy chassis but it could als be a John Deere or something. Looks like you have the Newell paint scheme which is really nice and respected by all. Looks pretty nice. Do you have any other photo's?

Welcome to the Forums!

A good place to start is what we call the "Data Tag". This is usually (but not always) on the wall behind the driver's seat.

It'll look something like this:



Or this:

I haven't found either tag anywhere, but will keep looking. Thank you for the quick response.

Older tags may look different; please send photos of anything you discover.

This coach was in Sightings under 72 Barth?. Did you buy it or are you looking at it? The listing has been removed from CL by lister.

Could you please show us larger/better angles of the coach than what you have in your profile?

Based on what I'm looking at - windshield makes it earlier than the end of 1973 - The short front windshields, from what we've been able to document, were not put on after late 73.

So, 1972 sounds about right.

Did you look at this page yet?

Stop at the section titled
Barth MH, Barth Trailers & Pickup Camper Insert
1968 ~ 1973

You can see some of the different tags we found on the earlier era Barths.

You are looking for a sequence of numbers that begin with 71 or 72

I found a few more images of your coach in our upload area...

I bought and am the proud owner, but it needs lots of work.

the turn signal lenses look like ones on mine,steering column looks to new for a 72,to me,but the hanger that holds looks like my 69,the aluminum above windshield,designed like steves oct. built 69,i'd say late 70,or 71 it does look nice,good luck.

welcome you n will have a lot of fun making into a great coach
see you on the highways

Can someone please shine some light on the Barth/Newell references? I saw a 1978 38 Foot Newell at a vintage Rally up here in Washington, great looking coach... was there a partnership between them? IS a Newell actually a Barth? What's the story??

And Mike Great looking coach, just picked up a 73 myself, same story it looks like... a LOT of work to be done! One thing at a time!

Here's a picture of that Newell, only one I have, sorry.
